They probably wouldn’t do that just because, I believe, the first slayer came about in prehistoric times (or at least ancient history), and they undoubtedly want to go the high school angle. I still think it should be just a slayer that comes after Buffy, rather than another version of Buffy

Exactly. They should go the Star Wars method. Putting aside the questionable way that Star Wars handled some of the older characters, having a Buffy series set in 2019-2020 (or whatever year), with Buffy as the new mentor to a new Slayer (or group of Slayers, considering how the original series ended) would be a much…

The Invisible Jet is the action figure every kid has to have. And for the kids really up to a challenge, they can buy the Invisible Jet lego set. 

I was really curious how the Russo brothers and Markus/McFeely were going to write Thor, because everyone who’s written him has handled him differently, and the Russo’s had not ye. Whedon, for example, did a pretty good Thor in the first Avengers, but didn’t have quite as good a handle on him in Age of Ultron (the…

Hopefully the Wakandans would have at least some sense of fair sportsmanship. They’ve got some pretty archaic rituals regarding ascending to leadership (honor duels), so I imagine the concept isn’t totally foreign to them

Yeah, regardless of what one thinks of The Last Jedi as an individual work, it really just didn’t function as the second part of a trilogy. 

That could be a good, very tearjerking Pixar movie. 

It’s kind of a weird line, in my experience. A lot of times, the player wants to play a total wish fulfillment power fantasy kind of thing... and the DM wants to create a world that has real stakes and danger. Depending on who you’re playing with, it can be a challenge balancing that. 

I’m also gonna throw out a recommendation for the Glass Cannon Podcast. Been binging them over the past few weeks, incredible roleplaying, and also hilarious personalities. 

Yeah, I imagine the original directors were gonna play it up more comedically, and have Han try and say certain things in Shryiiwook, but them coming out as nonsense of really offensive, just because humans can’t properlu make those sounds

Haha I was waiting for someone to seize on that silly typo. I hate commenting on my auto correcting phone, and it gives no time to edit my post 🤧

I think it’s by far the best thing he’s ever done, and it did redeem him for some. However, it admittedly does have a lot of “Lindelofisms”, so if one just hates his style, The Leftovers might not do much to sway them

The difference is, in this case, Snoke just comes off as a pale imitation of Palpatine, and when given the opportunity to make him different and interesting, they instead just chose to cut off the plot thread. Granted, this is likely the best move in the long run, but only because Snoke was so ill conceived in the…

The point is, whether it’s true or not, Lucas has always said he intended the films to be a 9 film saga. Unless 9 goes in a different direction than expected, as of now, the 9 film saga has one giant dangling thread

Out of curiosity, did you ever check out The Leftovers? An uneven shoe at first, but certainly became something interesting

Snoke certainly sticks out like a sore thumb. Although some use the argument that Palpatine’s backstory is not explained in ROTJ, if you watch the six movies as a saga, you will understand perfectly where Palpatine comes from. As of now, Snoke is just some random guy who shows up between trilogies to completely…

Love that version of the classic characters. And sigh. Jacen and Jaina Solo are two of the best Star Wars characters ever, in my opinion (particularly Jacen). Still miss them.

I am learning from you that The Expanse has been cancelled.

It’s a matter of degrees. It would be a very easy matter to show a clear difference in the state of the galaxy between the originals and the sequels, yet still show whatever institutions the heroes managed to build being challenged, or nearly toppled. The New Republic is completely sidestepped in the sequel trilogy…

Could not agree more. I wish they would have done something to differentiate the base conflict going on in this sequel trilogy. It would have been much more interesting if the New Republic was still up and running, still visible, and being attacked by a fiercely aggressive, and very powerful group of insurrectionists:…
